Chapter 213 Training and Assessment
Lezhi had previously participated in a gathering team and experienced this as well. At that time, the composition of the gathering team was quite complex. In addition to the tribe members who were still undergoing training, there were also many tribe members who had already "graduated," so it was considered an internal tribe activity.
This time, however, the situation was different. During the winter season, due to the cold weather, the tribespeople all chose to stay at home, so this time the gathering team consisted only of this group of young people who were participating in the training.
In the past, there would be older clansmen to help them out, but this time they all have to rely on themselves. As Le Jing had arranged, everyone has to take turns being the leader and the rear guard during the flight. No one can escape it, so they need to concentrate during the flight, otherwise they are likely to "collide" with the clansmen in the air.
Fortunately, everyone had considerable flying experience, so although there was some initial panic, under Le Jing's guidance, they quickly found their positions.
All formation changes follow a pattern. What Lezhi needs to learn is to remember the order and principles of the exchange, and then become familiar with it through continuous practice until it becomes second nature.
This system is universally applicable to all tree spirits, ensuring they can seamlessly integrate into their clan's flying formations and receive protection at any time.
"Good boy, you stay here today. I'll call you if I need anything."
"Tweet~"
Today, Maoqiu didn't need to provide transportation for Lezhi, and there was no place for it in the flight team, so it simply hid in the package with the baby bird, enjoying what it was like to be taken care of.
Lezhi felt a rare surge of excitement as he switched places with Maoqiu. From being used as a means of transportation to becoming one himself, it seemed like he was at a disadvantage, but the significance behind it was extraordinary.
This is a sense of accomplishment that comes with growth.
The surrounding tribesmen had already spread their wings and quickly taken to the air. Leyou and Leting were also ready and were watching Lezhi.
Since Lezhi returned with her wings, the members of the Lingyu Clan no longer need to avoid discussing the wings in front of her. Those who were afraid to approach her for fear of saying the wrong thing no longer have any concerns, which has led to Lezhi integrating into the clan more quickly.
The result of this integration was that Lezhi no longer suppressed his attraction to good looks. He carefully observed the wings of all his close friends. In his words, it was about fairness, because he also showed them his own wings.
Needless to say, Lezhi had long coveted Leyou's wings. The pink and yellow color scheme was among the most beautiful in the entire Spirit Feather Clan, and Lezhi was so cute that she was completely captivated.
Le Ting's wings perfectly match his personality, with a pearly white base and some pale yellow. Although they don't stand out much when standing in front of Le You, they have a unique charm.
Because the wings of the Spirit Feather Clan are covered with thick down, they are not afraid of the cold. When Lezhi released his wings, the cold air did not affect him at all.
Since most of the tribespeople have two or four wings, Lezhi's six wings attracted a lot of attention when they appeared, even though it wasn't the first time they had been shown.
However, Leyou and Leting share the same attitude as Lezhi: let them watch if they want; showing off their wings is their nature, as long as they don't interfere.
"Alright, Lezhi, you'll stay behind me for a bit, and Leting will stay behind you. We'll remind you when we change formations. Just make sure you don't fall behind and adjust your posture."
“That’s right, don’t be afraid, we’re all here. Leyou and I have participated in this kind of training several times before, so we’re very experienced,” Le Ting said, stepping forward.
Feeling like she was still being treated like a child, Lezhi found it both funny and comforting. "Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I'll fly well."
The three of them didn't have much time to discuss, and soon the cheerful voice called for takeoff, and everyone took off one by one in order.
Just as it was their turn, Leyou gave Lezhi one last look, a determined look in his eyes, and then his wings began to flap. With a light leap, Leyou soared into the air and joined the formation.
"Lezhi, it's your turn. Good luck!" This was encouragement from Leting.
"Mm." Lezhi nodded, took a deep breath, kept in mind all the techniques she had been told, and with a light leap, she successfully took off.
Compared to his tribesmen, he had the least amount of flying time and experience, but his flying skills were not bad at all; in fact, they were quite good. This was all thanks to his keen observation skills.
Even before he had wings, he loved observing how the furballs and his people flew in the air. At first, it was out of curiosity, but later it became a genuine interest.
Upon arriving at the Windwalker Clan, a race renowned for its flying speed, Lezhi's interest in flight was completely ignited. After gaining wings, the Windwalker Clan was the first group Lezhi observed and imitated; he was actually a huge fan of flying, much like Qingze.
The air was filled with the crisp chill of winter. A heavy snow had fallen just two days ago, and there was still snow in many parts of the forest, especially outside the tribe's territory, where the snow-covered area was even larger and the view was much wider.
Lezhi admired the rare and beautiful scenery below out of the corner of his eye, his heart filled with joy. Leyou and Leting, who were in front of and behind him, saw how easily Lezhi moved through the air and knew that Lezhi, at least in terms of flying, did not need anyone to worry about him.
Soon it was time to change positions. Lezhi timed it perfectly and followed the others in an orderly clockwise direction, changing one person's position at a time. The leader also changed positions accordingly.
Le Jing, who was flying in the middle of the team and giving orders, nodded in approval. The exchange was very smooth and there was nothing to criticize. She hoped that they could maintain it. If the following processes could be completed smoothly, then this team could move on to the next stage of training.
It was clear that many people in the team understood the significance of this collection day, and everyone was on high alert. Despite the cold weather, everyone was enthusiastic.
After receiving signals to change positions several times in a row, it was finally Lezhi's turn to take the lead.
In a team, every position is important, but the most important are undoubtedly the leader and the rear guard.
One is to lead the team in the right direction, and the other is to ensure harmony in the team's rear.
This is the first time Lezhi has been in the lead position in an official flight. Previous training sessions could not be considered official because the training grounds were all pre-planned. This is the first time he has truly "set foot" on the road.
Although Le Jing had informed them of the route and destination before they set off, family members know their own situation. It was no secret that Le Zhi had a poor sense of direction. Lei Xiu had prepared for Le Zhi for a long time in advance for today's training.
This included repeatedly reinforcing Lezhi's training on the nearby terrain, and finding reference points for Lezhi, for fear that Lezhi might lead the team astray during the short time he was in charge.
Leyou and Leting were aware of this, and it was this that they were most nervous about. So after Lezhi became the leader, Leyou and Leting were positioned to his left and right, respectively. They were slightly behind Lezhi, but they could still be heard if they spoke loudly.
They had already made plans. If Lezhi accidentally went astray, they would remind her. After all, Lejing hadn't said that people around her couldn't remind her. At worst, they would all suffer the consequences together. They couldn't let Lezhi fail the test because she didn't know the way.
